I love the Ariel it is the only shoe that offers me as a over pronator stability and comfort. I have been running 40 years without any major injuries and I credit the Ariel

I love these shoes. I have flat feet, over pronate and suffer from sinus tarsal syndrome. With my own orthotic in the shoe - they are so comfortable and help to correct my problem. I wear them all the time.

Very comfortable, well-padded sneaker for someone like me with large bunions. The mesh uppers stretch to accommodate them and this is one of the best sneakers for my problem that I have worn in a few decades.

Received so quickly!! I am on my 3rd pair of these. They are a game changer for my mobility. They prevent pronation like no other. I have terrible flat and pronated feet. Please please come out with new colors for these!

I love the sneaker support. I have been wearing Ariel's for years. I'm very disappointed that more designs are not being introduced. Other sneakers are being pushed for their new designs. I keep choosing rotating the three colors when I order. Looking elsewhere for a similar product outside of Brooks. I wear these everyday with orthopedic inserts for walking support after ankle/foot surgery.

Very very comfortable with plenty of room in the toe. That's important if you have orthotics which I do.

Amazing shoes! I have wide, flat feet and the Ariel '20s provide so much more support than other pairs of running shoes I've tried.

I'm not a runner but a 76 yr old woman who has had two knee replacements. Even after surgery and rehab still experienced considerable pain. Have tried numerous shoes. Once I walked my first mile in these shoes I almost criedno pain! I'm thrilled and will be buying another pair soon. Thank you!!

Because I have fallen arches, knee issues and a wide forefoot, I have looked forever for a shoe that is well cushioned and supportive. I tried several Hokas but was very disappointed that they wear out within 6 weeks! Didn't have much better luck with New Balance. But with these Brooks Ariels I can say I have finally found a shoe that is cushioned without being too soft and supportive enough to allow me to be on my feet all day without knee pain. And, it has enough of an arch that I have not had to add orthotics. I ordering another pair!

I’ve been buying Ariel shoes since I hurt my foot in 2009 in a wicked badminton fight in my 50s. Had plantar fasciitis and needed ortho inserts for a few years. Now the Ariel shoes as they come are sufficient. Love the support and stability. Would prefer not having so much white on the sole.

Absolutely love these shoes! This is my 4th pair of Ariels. I have bad ankles and a repetitive use injury and these does have helped me enjoy walking again! These were out of stock in my size for a while but I bought a new pair as soon as I saw them back in stock and am contemplating buying a backup pair lol Can't recommend these enough! It feels like walking on air. Lightweight and springy, but with a lot of support. Please keep making this shoe

Positively the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. This pair must be the 5th pair I've purchased over the years. I've tried other styles and other brands but this is by far the best!! I can't wait for the next Ariel to come out! Can't wait to see the color combinations and buy one.

The size and fit of these Brooks Ariel 20 are wonderful. Finally, after trying so many shoes these are what I was looking for. I have terrible arthritic feet and these sneakers are so comfortable. I wore them all day and they still felt great. Thank you, Zappos for your patience in all of the shoes I sent back. These do the trick.

THESE ARE THE BEST SHOES EVER! LITERALLY! My high school P.E. teacher recommended me these shoes and I'm so glad I bought them! These are so comfortable, and it feels so light when I walk or run like I'm walking on clouds. The cushioning is perfect, and they are very comfortable. They are a bit small though, so I strongly suggest sizing up. Amazing shoes!

I love the Ariel. The shoe pictured is my second pair, but I've bought them 3 times and glycerin more times before switching to Ariel, than I can remember.
I don't run, but I walk a lot for my job and for pleasure. Recently, I under went foot surgery where the Ariel was recommended by my foot surgeon.
The biggest problem I have is getting the color I want, black, in my size. 7W, so I sometimes have to wait longer between buying a new pair.
